Photos from 2016 Formula 1 Malaysia Grand Prix

So this is my second time covering Formula 1, the first time being back in 2011 while I was working for Asia Reach Media. I remember clearly back then that it was quite hard to shoot anything with the constant loud sound coming from the F1 engines. Fast forward to now and the engines are tamer and there isn’t any need for ear plugs anymore.

The 2016 Formula 1 Malaysia Grand Prix was memorable for me as it’s the first time I saw a Formula 1 driving accident right in front of my own eyes. And while the photo of the starting pack shows Hamilton in front by some distance his luck went bad later on due to an engine failure. Otherwise it looked like another dominating performance from Mercedes again. The battle for the drivers’ championship still continues on as I write this post but a Mercedes 1-2 is guarantee by now.
